Clementine Collection

Limb of Gagarin


This series of oblique images was acquired by Clementine during orbit 255. The images used to form this color composite were taken with the UV/VIS camera at wavelengths of 415, 750, and 1000 nm. In the lower right are seen mare materials (flood lavas) in the floor of the impact crater Jules Verne. To the left, near the Limb of Gagarin, is another mare unit in the floor of Tsiolkovsky.

A high resolution image is also available. Warning: this is a very large image (9 Mbytes)
